Update:
You know the bracket that was blocking access to my air filter....the one I cut off
...
I found out what it is for....
I was considering installing the cigarette lighter/usb plug so I thought I would read the installation tutorial......and what did I find.....
....there is a green electrical resistor that plugs into the wiring harness and hangs on the side of the frame on a special bracket......
So if I decide to get the lighter/usb outlets, I will need another way to attach the electrical resistor to frame.
